Norns in Old Norse Mythology - Bek-Pedersen Karen
The nornir - or norns - were a group of female supernatural beings closely related to ideas about fate in the Old Norse tradition. Surprisingly little has been written specifically about the norns, and this book - now available in paperback - is the first detailed discussion of the norns among the literature dealing with Old Norse beliefs. In this book, author Karen Bek-Pedersen provides a thorough understanding of the role played by norns and other similar beings.
The book's research goes much deeper in order to properly understand the nature and role of the norns in the Old Norse world view. Although often mentioned in scholarship treating Old Norse culture, the norns are all too often dealt with in overly superficial ways. The conclusions that are reached overturn a number of stereotypical conceptions that have long dominated the understanding of these beings.
